Usher Linda fell in love with a work by the artist Keiko Hara. One problem: The piece 42 feet long not correspond to his home in Chicago.
So when Mrs. Usher with architect Larry cabin talked about the design of Palm Springs, Calif., House she and her husband were building was caused concern.
"She said," and in fact, we have a painting 42 meters long, "says Booth, Booth Hansen, headquartered in Chicago and San Francisco, which also designed the main house of the couple.
His solution: The new house, completed last summer, a large living room with a stunning long rectangular wall. The triptych collage of images and multimedia pieces of leather, paper and fabric and then crashes. Other room walls are made of glass and open to an outdoor pool and views of the San Jacinto Mountains in the Coachella Valley and the city.
The architect had another popular work to consider: Domaine Frederick Loewe. Mrs Usher and her husband, Malcolm Lambe, also the property of the middle of the century have modern composer of Broadway, just up the hill from the new house. Mrs Usher, he said that the new house would not influence the old house to make sure or impede their views.

The new house is 5,600 square feet, four bedrooms modern. It has a sense of comfort, despite all its white walls and concrete floors, decorated by the use of fabrics in warm colors on the windows and neutral color plush.
Both houses have clean lines and simple materials and flat roofs and hanging midcentury other influences. And both are designed to maximize the spectacular views with glass walls in the new house, to allow open indoor and outdoor life. Master bedroom at each corner have glass walls.

The house has a media room with glass walls and three bedrooms with bathroom.
Mrs Usher, he said in the kitchen was the center of the house to be, and have a simple color palette. "I have the white kitchen almost all white wanted," he said. The room has no quartz plates clutter and white lacquered cabinets, statuesque white stools and white walls.
Mr. Booth said minimalist house is misleading: "If you look at what happens when one is moving in constant motion, like a kaleidoscope."
The views included in reflections on glass and water and change with every change of perspective.
